Hi, I'm Michele and along with my hus and Chip have recently started our grand adventure of chicken farming!
We started with 6 babies straight run, Barred Rocks, within a week I convinced myself that all but one was a rooster! So sweet hubby says, go get 4 more , but marked pullets. So I happily went and got 4 ISA brown pullets (or so I thought lol) and yes, all from tractor supply, so buyer be ware . Now 2 1/2 months down the road, only one Barred Rock is a rooster, one is not a barred rock, but very pretty. (I will be posting a pic of her for thoughts on what she may be soon) AND none of the ISA Browns are ISA Browns and only 2 are pullets! So already been a learning experience, but also so much fun!
Looking forward to learning from all the seasoned chicken lovers!
